Although an organization’s IT infrastructure is typically built to handle large amounts of data, including that of video surveillance applications, many operators are not fully leveraging the functionalities of their investments to optimize bandwidth capacity. Multicasting, multi-streaming and video compression is three innovative methods that users can use to optimize bandwidth management in video surveillance applications. With a technologically advanced video management software (VMS), users can leverage existing hardware and software functionalities to experience benefits such as reduction in bandwidth requirements, optimization of network resources, and decrease of storage needs. Multicasting, multi-streaming and video compression as supported by a highly intelligent VMS ultimately contribute to significant cost savings and long-term investment protection.
